A former reality TV star who once appeared on a show about swinging lifestyles has been arrested on disturbing sex crime charges in Ohio.
Tony McCollister, who appeared on A&E’s short-lived series Neighbors With Benefits, was taken into custody in Warren County and charged with pandering obscenity involving a minor and engaging in sexual conduct with animals, per WLWT.
Prosecutors allege McCollister uploaded child sexual abuse material to his Google account and committed acts involving two dogs he owned.
He was arraigned this week and slapped with a $250,000 bond as the shocking allegations surfaced.
McCollister is now being held in jail ahead of his next court appearance scheduled for December 30.
The disgraced reality star was one of the swingers featured on the 2015 series, which was swiftly pulled after just two episodes following public outrage.

The network announced it would no longer air the remaining unaired episodes and quietly shelving the series altogether.
Insiders later suggested a slim chance they could surface online.
Produced by Haymaker, the short-lived series followed several married couples living in an otherwise ordinary Ohio suburb as they explored open relationships.
The show also captured their day-to-day lives as parents, professionals, soccer moms and Little League coaches.
The series premiered on March 22, 2015 on the former A&E network.
